ok, so as I understand as far as dpkg is concerned, udebs and debs are exactly the same. However udebs and debs are designed for different purposes.
Where are the udebs available? Are they build from stable or unstable/testing? Will security patches be available for them? Is it possible to create a udeb from the deb sources? Sorry, that's a lot of questions, but a cut down debs with security updates are tailer made for embedded community who do not care for man pages and other bulk. I guess lots of people including me are interested what is said below
What I would like to do is create a list of packages to be installed, then have an image created that would contain a filesystem with selected packages on it, so that it can be easily copied onto flash or whatever other medium is being used.
